Embers Ad Infinitum

No way? With Jiang Baimian's psychological quality, he couldn't believe his eyes at this moment.

If only Lei Yunsong was still alive and still in Weed City, she would be able to accept it. But the problem is that the leader of the neighboring group is still very active and was even involved in a shooting case, but he did not contact the company to report the situation. .

Even if their radio station has been damaged or lost, they can try to get a new one, or rent it in the underground market!

Did they find something and defect? No, if it was a defection, they would not stay in Weicao City at all. They should know very well that the company will definitely pursue it... Unless, this has become a conspiracy against the company... Jiang Baimian withdrew his gaze and looked at Shang Jianyao .

Shang Jianyao felt her gaze and proactively said:

"He used murder to remind the company?"

"...It shouldn't be that complicated. Also, your idea is a bit dangerous." Jiang Baimian thought, "I wonder if they were controlled by someone, and then those people used the lives of other members of the group to force Lei Yunsong helped them do some dirty work? This can explain why the information Chen Xufeng received was that someone suspected of Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei had been seen in the city, but the other three were not mentioned."

The other three are hostages and are being held captive!

"It's too complicated." Shang Jianyao seemed to have started rereading again.

Jiang Baimian nodded:

"really.

“There is no need to make it so complicated simply to find someone to do the dirty work, and the motivation is not sufficient.

"Could it be revenge? Some people represented by Liu Dazhuang caused heavy losses to Lei Yunsong's group, leaving only two people? However, you have to contact the company first. If the company provides assistance, things will be much easier..."

Jiang Baimian muttered to himself for a while, then exhaled and said:

"There's no point in thinking about it here, let's take over the task first.

"Anyway, at least we have some clues."

Shang Jianyao replaced words with actions. He walked directly to the nearest table, turned on the machine on it, swiped the hunter badge and accepted the task.

——This is an unlimited task, and even novices can take it.

When Jiang Baimian also took over the task, the blond-haired, blue-eyed Kristina suddenly returned to the first floor.

This time, she didn't bring any bodyguards.

After seeing Shang Jianyao, she smiled slightly and said:

"Forget it today, I have something urgent to do."

After saying that, the vice president of the Hunter Guild hurriedly walked to the side door and left the hall.

"Urgent?" Jiang Baimian approached Shang Jianyao and murmured to himself thoughtfully.

Without waiting for Shang Jianyao to respond, she showed a slight smile and said:

“Looks like you don’t have to take any chances.

"Hmm...what details can you tell from the scene just now?"

"She is alone." Shang Jianyao replied.

"Not bad." Jiang Baimian praised, "For a person who usually needs three bodyguards, dares to go out alone, it shows that her own strength is not weak, or that the person she wants to see makes her feel very at ease, and the distance is not far away. How far? Well, there must be many secrets involved in the corresponding matter."

At this time, Jiang Baimian saw from the corner of his eye that Bai Chen and Long Yuehong had also taken over the task.

So, she said no more, pointed to the door and said:

"Let's go and see the scene."

After leaving the Hunter's Guild and returning to South Street, the first thing Jiang Baimian noticed was not the crime scene, but a bunch of people.

A group of relic hunters gathered around the place where Liu Dazhuang was shot and fell, wanting to turn the road over.

"What's the use of this? What matters is the location of the gunman and what's on Liu Dazhuang, not the place where he fell." Jiang Baimian took a glance and shook his head.

Liu Dazhuang's body had long been carried away by the city defense troops.

After identifying the building where the bullet was fired, Jiang Baimian took Shang Jianyao into the corresponding courtyard.

The next second, she was startled by the sight in front of her:

Thousands of people formed a long queue outside a certain stairway!

"What are you doing?" Jiang Baimian said subconsciously.

Shang Jianyao observed carefully for a few seconds and answered:

"visit."

"Queue up to visit the rooftop?" Jiang Baimian suddenly felt that this scene was a bit absurd and funny.

The number of ruin hunters who have taken on this mission is beyond imagination!

She walked a few steps quickly and came to the back of the line. She touched the arm of the man in front of her and asked with a smile:

"What are you lining up for?"

The man turned back impatiently, then smiled:

"Waiting to talk to witnesses and see what new clues can be unearthed."

Such a clue is worth at least 10 ores.

"Okay...thank you." Jiang Baimian was a little interested in this wonderful situation, but also found it quite funny.

She quickly winked at Shang Jianyao, took the lead and approached the stairs, shouting as she walked:

"We live here, we live here..."

Amidst the sporadic voices of "Can I take the job?" and "How much does it cost per night?", Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao squeezed up the stairs and climbed all the way to the fourth floor.

The team of ruin hunters "finished" here and stopped in front of a half-open door.

Jiang Baimian looked around and found that there were crooked words written in charcoal on the door:

"The only witness to the shooting, talking time is 2 cass per minute."

1 ore is equal to 10 deras, and 1 deras is equal to 10 kars.

"...still, quite smart." Jiang Baimian muttered to himself in a rather complicated tone.

Moreover, the price is set very well. If it were a little more, many ruin hunters would have to consider whether it was worth it, or whether they should form a larger team temporarily.

As for now, they believe that they can be clever and ask different questions to extract exclusive clues.

Shang Jianyao also lamented:

"Why don't you collect one bun at a time? This can last for a month."

"Aren't you tired of it?" Jiang Baimian responded casually and turned his attention to other rooms on this floor.

Many people had their doors half open, looking at the long queue with envy. From time to time someone shouted:

"He's not the only witness!"

"Maybe I saw it too, but I just don't remember it now..."

After the initial shock, surprise and sigh, Jiang Baimian gradually adapted to this situation and said to Shang Jianyao with great interest:

"In settlements dominated by hunter guilds, the culture of citizens, if they are considered citizens, also has different characteristics."

This is one of the aspects that Jiang Baimian is most interested in.

However, she did not make any more observations, and led Shang Jianyao to climb to the fifth floor and onto the rooftop as if to seize time.

There are very few relic hunters here, and there are city defense troops to maintain order to prevent anyone from accidentally damaging the site.

Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen, who had caught up, looked at each other, walked to the street wall on the rooftop, chose a seat, and said to himself:

"The shooter probably completed the shooting here."

She witnessed the shooting.

Bai Chen leaned next to Jiang Baimian and pretended to be holding a sniper rifle to try out the feeling.

"It's a bit awkward," she commented.

When Liu Dazhuang was shot, he was almost in the middle of South Street, only three or four meters away from the building here.

At this angle, in order to hit the target from here, the sniper would have to lean out quite a bit from the rooftop, which would create a somewhat twisted posture.

"If it were me, I would shoot Liu Dazhuang before he walked out of Hongluo Lane." Bai Chen retracted his gaze and added.

——The entire Hongluo Alley can be monitored from the left area of ​​the rooftop, making it easy and convenient to snipe the enemies inside.

"Does it mean that the gunman was not at this position before Liu Dazhuang walked out of Hongluo Lane, and then hurriedly got into position and completed the shooting?" Jiang Baimian looked at Shang Jianyao, pretending to be discussing with him.

Shang Jianyao replied seriously:

"Maybe he couldn't hold it in and went to the toilet first."

"...That's a good reason." Jiang Baimian suddenly smiled and said, "You can look for it later to see if there are any traces of open excretion on the rooftop and the fifth floor."

Obviously, such traces would not be missed by the numerous ruin hunters.

Jiang Baimian then said:

"Think about it from another angle, how could the gunman be sure that Liu Dazhuang would come out of Hongluo Lane? If he knew it very early, why did he appear to be in such a hurry?"

After asking the question, she thought about it and answered it on her own:

"Could the gunman have other accomplices? They only knew that Liu Dazhuang was in this area, but had no further information, so they spread out in several alleys on the opposite side, looking for targets. When they found traces of Liu Dazhuang, they immediately passed A device such as a walkie-talkie informed the gunman, and then the gunman hurried here from a certain location on the rooftop?"

At this time, Bai Chen had already walked back and forth along the street side of the rooftop.

She said as if she was having a conversation with Long Yuehong:

"On the other side, Huangjiao Alley can be monitored, but the view of Hongluo Alley is very poor."

Huangjiao Alley is an alley adjacent to Hongluo Alley.

Hearing this sentence, Jiang Baimian suddenly realized:

"The gunman was initially monitoring Huangjiao Alley, while his companions were in Hongluo Alley. Once he obtained certain information, he immediately changed his sniping position..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shang Jianyao had already walked to the area on the far right side of the rooftop. Then, he squatted down and looked at the ground and walls carefully.

"Someone stepped on it, someone rubbed it, and the traces are relatively fresh." He reported truthfully.

Many ruin hunters then looked here, some were confused and some were thoughtful.

Jiang Baimian thought for a while and said to Shang Jianyao:

"There's nothing to see, let's go down."

Shang Jianyao didn't say much, and followed the team leader all the way down, back to South Street.

Jiang Baimian then smiled and said:

"Let's go into Hongluo Lane and look for clues left by the gunman's companions."

Hongluo Lane is only more than two meters wide, and the ground floor is dotted with shops such as "repair shops" and "used clothes shops".

At this time, several relic hunters took photos of Liu Dazhuang and asked different stores one after another, wanting to know if they had seen anyone Liu Dazhuang had contact with before his death.

The answers Jiang Baimian and others witnessed were all shaking their heads.

"How to find it?" Long Yuehong, who was one meter away, asked Bai Chen.

Jiang Baimian suddenly raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smiled and said to Shang Jianyao:

"Of course I asked for photos."

What she took out was not a photo of Liu Dazhuang, nor a photo of Lei Yunsong, the suspected shooter, but a photo of another person:

A photo of Lin Feifei, another member of the old tune group.
